Mayor Bill de Blasio: Rudy Giuliani ‘Fundamentally Misunderstands the Reality’

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani “fundamentally misunderstands the reality,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said today on “This Week” in response to Giuliani’s recent comments focusing on violence within African-American communities, rather than questions over police interactions with minorities that have sparked nationwide protests.

“I think he fundamentally misunderstands the reality,” de Blasio told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos in his first television interview since a New York grand jury decided this week not to indict police officers in the July death of Eric Garner in Staten Island. “We’re trying to bring police and community together. There is a problem here, there is a rift here that has to be overcome.”

“You cannot look at the incident in Missouri, another incident in Cleveland, Ohio, and another incident in New York City, all happening in the space of weeks and act like there’s not a problem,” de Blasio added.

De Blasio was responding to comments made by Giuliani on Fox News last Sunday in which he said, “I think just as much, if not more, responsibility is on the black community to reduce the reason why the police officers are assigned in such large numbers to the black community. It’s because blacks commit murder eight times more per capita than any other group in our society.”(continued)

I saw the interview and had two thoughts.

First, Deblasio doesn’t see crime. Its not happening. Cops are just racist.

Second, cops are going to back off. Thats what Deblasio wants. Thats the message. NYC is going to get dangerous.

The people who are screaming the loudest about cops being too aggressive will be the same ones screaming about cops not doing enough.

Mayor Bill de Blasio: Rudy Giuliani ‘Fundamentally Misunderstands the Reality’

Bill de Blasio is juat another (now) common delusional megalomaniac.

He hasn't learned that the best test of the "grasp of reality" is positive results, with a minimum disruption to the city or national "peace and tranquility."

Enabling a race war hardly qualifies.

Doctrinaire dogmatic idiot!

Apparantly he’s married to a black liberal activist and he can’t think for himself. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

“Did New Yorkers really expect their commie mayor blabla to stand by the city’s cops -”


I know the cops always knew he would never support them.

RINO Guiliani does fundamentally misunderstand pro-life, Biblical, and authentic conservative issues. The GOPe likes him because they think he can really stick it to Constitutional conservatives.

Thankfully, his 2008 presidential blew up in his face. He needs to stay away from the 2016 campaign. The GOPe will try to use him to kneecap Ted.

I swear if I were a NY police captain, I would tell my team to sit back, take it easy, do everything “by the book” and let criminals take over the streets.

De Blasio is an agitator like Obama - he runs against the system he controls, and uses people below him as pawns. NY cops shouldn’t let him get away with it.

That is the ultimate weapon that police officers have in their arsenal.

If street officers did everything 100% by all the BS ordinances and General Orders and processed every citizen complaint without passing over the small crap, every police dispatch system and every court and jail would grind to a halt.

“Oh, Sergeant, can’t go to that riot in front of City Hall. I have to process this 17oz Soda arrest.”

“Sorry Sarge, I can’t go help out at that multiple homicide. I’ve got a guy here who was smoking in a bar.”

HA! This psycho has the audacity to knock others for their supposed lack of a grip on reality?

This is yet another example of the left attempting to project their own failings.

The truth of the matter is that Bill de Blasio FAILS to understand the reality, is it not? New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio simply cannot connect the dots.

Sad but funny, and another example of how the left uses their rather empty playbook (blame game, character assassination, name calling, accusing the other side of what they themselves are doing).

Could it be that the Democrats do NOT accept personal responsibility because they are incapable of real understanding of the issues (disordered minds as described by Mike Savage)?

I think Rudy knows full well what a moron the current Mayor is and current Mayor doesn't like to be outed or called on for personal responsibly.
